    i believe it is, as that is how invisionfree works (they dont pay for every board the setup, and they are allowed to host multiple online boards at a time). It is free licensed software i believe.

    You should be fine using it. Worst case scenario, check the TOS to be 100% sure.

    No, and you need to get permission from Invision before doing so, and yes..they can and will sue if needed. They have legal representatives in well over fourteen countries.

    Yeah, ignore the hundred "yes its legal" responses. You cannot put it up for distribution.
